This is very serious. Time to seriously look into our health care system to ensure we have local trained personnel.  Relying on FT and sub contracting cannot work.

What a xenophobic comment!

You say this because you know that non-Singaporeans are definitely involved? 
 

What if it turns out that it is a locally trained “true blue” Singaporean that made the mistake, whatever it is.

So they are saying the test kit got issue. And they are contacting all the patients who took the tests with the test kit as far back as 2012....

Wow. Major c0ckup spotted.

For clarification, there are 180 patients misdiagnosed as Breast Cancer Patients.

Out of the 180 patients, 90 has received treatment.

Like that cb liao.  I understand that the number of patients is low as compared to the total population.

Accordingly, if there is an abnormally high number, an investigation should be done.

But wtf, 2012. Why did it took so long for someone to realise smth is wrong?
